WEBCAM

WCAM$

Current web-cam picture at camera resolutionWCAM$

Current web-cam picture at camera resolutionWebcam is disabled in WeatherCat's preferences. No picture available.

WCAM320$.

Replaced with the current web-cam picture at a horizontal resolution of 320. The vertical resolution is a nominal 240 pixels but this is
dependent on your camera as the aspect ratio is always maintained. We also provide WCAM$ (normal resolution as set in the preferences), WCAM640$, WCAM800$ and WCAM1280$

PERIOD can be one of:
TODAY, YESTERDAY, THISWEEK, LASTWEEK, THISMONTH, LASTMONTH, THISYEAR, LASTYEAR, THISSEASON, ALLTIME.
WeatherCat 1.1 Build 210 and later add the following periods:
SINCE9AM - period covers from 'now' to the previous 9 A.M.
HRS(x) - period covers x number of hours - i.e. HRS(24) means the last 24 hours.

In addition, user defined date ranges can be used as the PERIOD - e.g. 2010-12-01/2011-03-01 (ISO 8601 date format - yyyy-mm-dd)

By appending TIME we can display the time of the event:
STAT$ITEM:TYPE:PERIOD:TIME$

For example, to find the highest temperature today:
STAT$TEMPERATURE:MAX:TODAY$
STAT$TEMPERATURE:MAX:TODAY:TIME$.

CURRENT will display the real-time value of a given item. This is different to CT$ or CD$ etc. as those values are pulled from the database which has a resolution of 1 minute.
In the case of CURRENT, the time field (TODAY, YESTERDAY etc) will be ignored and can be omitted.
To display the current outdoor temperature:
STAT$TEMPERATURE:CURRENT$
This is rendered as:
0.0

24HRSAGO will display the value of a given item 24 hours ago.
In the case of 24HRSAGO, the time field (TODAY, YESTERDAY etc) will be ignored and can be omitted.
To display the outdoor temperature 24 hours ago:
STAT$TEMPERATURE:24HRSAGO$
This is rendered as:
N/A

DELTA1 will display the 1 hour change of a given item.
For DELTA1 the time field (TODAY, YESTERDAY etc) will be ignored and can be omitted.
***NOTE that wind direction delta is not supported and will return an undefined value***
To display the current outdoor temperature 1 hour change:
STAT$TEMPERATURE:DELTA1$
This is rendered as:
N/A

DELTA24 will display the 24 hour change of a given item.
For DELTA24 the time field (TODAY, YESTERDAY etc) will be ignored and can be omitted.
***NOTE that wind direction delta is not supported and will return an undefined value***
To display the current outdoor temperature 24 hour change:
STAT$TEMPERATURE:DELTA24$
This is rendered as:
N/A

Notes:
SUNSHINEHOURS can only be used with TOTAL (to find the total number of hours over a given date range)
e.g. Hours of sunshine today = STAT$SUNSHINEHOURS:TOTAL:TODAY$
is rendered as:
Hours of sunshine today = 0.00

DAILYSUN can only be used with MAX (to find the sunniest day in a given date range)
e.g. The sunniest day this year: STAT$DAILYSUN:MAX:THISYEAR:TIME$ (STAT$DAILYSUN:MAX:THISYEAR$ hours)
is rendered as:
The sunniest day this year: 7 Dec 2012 (0.00 hours)

THISSEASON can only be used with RAIN
e.g. STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:THISSEASON$
is rendered as:
0.0
or
STAT$RAIN:AVERAGE:THISSEASON$ RAINUNITS$/h
is rendered as:
0.0000 mm/h

(The rain season start month is set in the preferences)

DAILYRAIN can only be used with MAX or AVERAGE.
e.g. STAT$DAILYRAIN:MAX:THISWEEK$ on STAT$DAILYRAIN:MAX:THISWEEK:TIME$
is rendered as:
0.0 mm on 7 Dec 2012

RAINDAYS can only be used with TOTAL and returns the number of rain days over a given period.
e.g. STAT$RAINDAYS:TOTAL:THISMONTH$
is rendered as:
0

FROSTDAYS can only be used with TOTAL and returns the number of frost days (or air frosts)over a given period.
e.g. STAT$FROSTDAYS:TOTAL:THISMONTH$
is rendered as:
1

Extra sensors can only be used with CURRENT. Stats and deltas are not currently supported for extra sensors - this is planned for a future version.

Tag Errors
In the case of an invalid tag configuration, the tag will either be processed - for example:

or it may render as an error. For example:
Average wind direction today = STAT$WINDDIRECTION:AVERAGE:TODAY$ degrees on STAT$WINDDIRECTION:AVERAGE:TODAY:TIME$ renders as:
Average wind direction today = 0 degrees on ***Error - No time available for averages***

Examples:
These examples all follow the following format:
Current Temperature: STAT$TEMPERATURE:CURRENT$ TEMPUNITS$ (STAT$TEMPERATURE:DELTA1$)
Rendered as:
Current Temperature: 0.0 °C (N/A)

Additional current readings (version 0.9.5 onwards)
These all follow the following format: STAT$T1:CURRENT$
Note: Deltas/stats are not currently available for additional sensors (this is planned for a future version).

Readings 24 hours ago and 24 hour deltas to the current reading
These examples all follow the following form:
Temperature: STAT$TEMPERATURE:24HRSAGO$ TEMPUNITS$ (STAT$TEMPERATURE:DELTA24$)
Note: This list shows all currently supported combinations
